As an AI Business Consultant Intern, you will work with the AI Value Engineering team to partner clients on their AI transformation journeys. You will help understand their most important business priorities, identify the AI opportunities that can create the greatest value, and work with business, data, product, and engineering teams to turn those opportunities into real solutions. This is a hands-on opportunity to experience the full journey of AI value creation—from analysing a client’s business model, P&L, processes, and KPIs, to shaping business cases, prioritising use cases, supporting solution delivery, and helping translate ideas into measurable outcomes. You will gain exposure to client and leadership discussions while working under the guidance of experienced team members. Projects may span transport and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, energy, and other asset-intensive sectors, with use cases across AI-orchestrated energy transition, operational improvement, and commercial growth. Key Responsibilities Client Problem Solving & Value Identification Support client discovery through industry research, business analysis, meeting preparation, and participation in client discussions and workshops. Break down client business models, P&Ls, operating processes, and KPIs to identify value pools, pain points, and improvement opportunities. Build structured problem statements, value-driver trees, financial models, and quantitative business cases with guidance from the team. Analyse client and market data to size opportunities, test hypotheses, and support evidence-based recommendations. AI Opportunity Prioritisation & Solution Shaping Translate business needs into clearly defined AI use cases, success metrics, and prioritised opportunity roadmaps. Work closely with AI data, AI systems, product, engineering, and domain teams to assess data availability, technical feasibility, delivery requirements, and expected business impact. Support development of client-ready proposals, executive presentations, workshop materials, and value-sharing models. Research emerging AI technologies, industry practices, competitors, and academic literature to inform solution design and recommendations. Project Delivery & Cross-functional Coordination Support project planning and execution across pilots, proofs of value, and contracted AI transformation programmes. Coordinate actions, dependencies, decisions, and deliverables across client stakeholders and internal business, data, product, and engineering teams. Help define delivery milestones and success measures, track progress, and surface issues requiring resolution.
